Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increased worldwide in parallel with the obesity epidemic. Potentilla discolor is one of the most important crude materials in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for therapy of hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. In this work, a plasma metabonomic approach based on

The present study aims to develop an easy and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using extracts from the medicinal plant, Potentilla fulgens and evaluation of its anticancer and antimicrobial properties. The various parts of P. fulgens were screened and the root extract

Potentilla longifolia is a kind of Chaoyao medicine, which is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine. The plant is often referred to as ganyancao or ganyearmcao, which means that it has a significant therapeutic effect on liver inflammation. In previous experiments, we found that a water extract

BACKGROUND Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are popularly used to treat various diseases and for cosmetic purposes. They act by blocking neurotransmission through specific cleavage of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins. Recently, several polyphenols

Using spectrophotometric methods, a H(2) O-soluble Potentilla alba L. rhizome extract was evaluated phytochemically, i.e., the total phenol, flavonoid, flavonol, flavanone, and proanthocyanidin contents were determined, and its antioxidant and pro-oxidant properties, i.e., the Fe(III) reductive and

Available data on the effect of various trace elements on iodine metabolism and function of thyroid gland (TG) were systematized in this article. Subsequently, promising possibilities of herbal therapy in treatment and prevention of TG diseases were considered. Systemic analyis of the results of 3

The aim of this research was to investigate the antioxidant and anti-apoptotic activities of Potentilla anserina polysaccharide (PAP) on kidney damage induced by cadmium (Cd) in vitro and in vivo. PAP has been suggested to have anti-oxidation, anti-apoptosis, immunoregulation, antimicrobial,

Tiliroside isolated from Chinese herb Potentilla chinensis showed therapeutic activities in diabetes. We synthesized 7 tiliroside-derivatives and examined their effects on surface GLUT4myc levels in muscle cells. Derivatives 2a and 3 increased surface GLUT4myc levels, and derivative 3 has the

Cognitive impairment and neuro‑inflammatory responses are the distinctive characteristics of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Tormentic acid (TA) is one of the major active components of Potentilla chinensis and has been demonstrated to have anti‑inflammatory properties. However, the potential effects of

Potentilla fulgens root traditionally used as a folk remedy in Meghalaya, India. However, systematic evaluation of its anticancer efficacy was limited. We investigated the anticancer potentials of the various extracts prepared by partitioning of the methanol extract of the root with the aim to

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the anticancer effect of the ethanol extract of Potentilla chinensis, a Chinese medicinal plant. An MTT assay was used to evaluate the cell viability of MG‑63 human osteosarcoma cancer cells and fR‑2 cells. Furthermore, the effect of the extract on

BACKGROUND Ellagitannin-rich plant materials are widely used in traditional medicine as effective, internally used anti-inflammatory agents. Due to the not well-established bioavailability of ellagitannins, the mechanisms of observed therapeutic effects following oral administration still remain

The cause of Parkinson's disease (PD) could be ascribed to the progressive and selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, and thus molecules with neuroprotective ability may have therapeutic value against PD. In the current study, the neuroprotective effects and

In this study, we investigated the antiinflammatory effects of ethanol extracts of Potentilla. supina Linne (EPS) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and septic mice. EPS suppressed LPS-induced nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2 , TNF-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-1β at
